If you live outside our local area, you can join as an affiliate member, giving you all the benefits of full membership, other than the opportunity to vote for a governor or stand for election to the Council of Governors.

If you are a member of another Foundation Trust you can still become a member of ours. Our staff and volunteers are automatically members unless they have chosen to opt out.

After you have submitted your application form you will receive a welcome pack within 28 days. This will include a member survey asking what you are interested in, for example finding out more about diabetes or cleanliness at the hospital. You will then be contacted in the future if an event or group is arranged in your areas of interest.
